As I stated earlier, SVO’s use of a photo conveying an implicitly racist campaign message was abhorrent. Racial fear-mongering has no place in our city. Though CEO Matt Mahood took down the photo as soon as he became aware & publicly apologized, SVO cannot let this happen again — PolitiTweet.org

Last night Council approved my recommendation to halt back-room talks & reforms to prevent political manipulation of the redistricting process (https://t.co/rsO7qvOUo0). We'll also focus on the BCM coalition & food distribution: https://t.co/kLTdwXjxGi. https://t.co/3lWVjdy2Kr — PolitiTweet.org

@Bmpstk Thanks Christian. I try to lead by example, and I drive an electric car that I charge with solar panels on my roof. We’ve converted hundreds of city vehicles to electric and hybrid, but have held off on SJPD and Fire trucks because technology is not quite there yet. — PolitiTweet.org

San Joséans can help us create a more sustainable city--lowering greenhouse gas emissions, cutting costs, and tackling climate change. Are you ready to take steps and live climate smart? Start here: https://t.co/s2NHTSbRz3. — PolitiTweet.org

We need to keep our children + families safe this #Halloween. Let’s channel our creative energy into virtual costume parties (pets included), & pumpkin decorating contests to get us back on track to enjoy more in-person fun festivities post-COVID: https://t.co/OuFNROtze9. https://t.co/HGOE3Fyyiz — PolitiTweet.org

@aramosjr @SJSpotlight They’re not tiny homes. They are prefabricated apartments, and they cost about $85/unit, including utilities. The 700k/unit figure that you’re citing is what it costs a typical builder to build an apartment building in the Bay Area. We’re doing it for far less. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we'll dive deeper into the allegations we've seen on social media & council meetings that Council and I somehow granted high-rise developers a $67M "giveaway." (https://t.co/v8zHiAsFQ8). We'll also focus on how SJ is funding affordable housing. https://t.co/A5L0oAjHsp — PolitiTweet.org

This will become a national model for saving lives & rebuilding communities. I am grateful for the partnership and support from Gov. @GavinNewsom & his team as we work to find creative solutions to this crisis. (2/2) — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

This pandemic has compelled us to become more nimble in tackling ongoing challenges like homelessness. By eliminating red tape & deploying innovative construction methods, SJ shows how we can build cost-effective housing in 4 mo. at 1/8 the cost. (1/2)https://t.co/Wg6J6C5d28 — PolitiTweet.org

@jpelaschier Thanks for the head’s up—will notify our parks team — PolitiTweet.org

@barcelosknows @DevDavisCA @D2SergioJimenez I’ll continue to be truthful, and you’d do well to try to do so. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@SCCDP @barcelosknows @DevDavisCA @D2SergioJimenez No, it was three projects. I know because I’m the one who proposed them and brought them to council. On the Governor’s public broadcast of the event, you can clearly hear me make repeated reference to three projects. And CM Davis was instrumental to making one of them work. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@RGirl262 @GavinNewsom @Ash_Kalra @DevDavisCA @D2SergioJimenez Sergio has worked diligently with the surrounding community to ensure that concerns about safety and other issues would be addressed. He was out of town on the day of the event—the Governor’s team sets the schedule, and the rest of us are either able or not able to make it. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@aramosjr @DevDavisCA @D2SergioJimenez Actually, they cost about 1/8 the cost of typical construction, in part because of our ability to leverage public land and prefabricated, modular construction techniques — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

I was joined by Gov. @GavinNewsom, AM @Ash_Kalra, & CM @DevDavisCA to celebrate the opening at Bernal housing community, 1 of 3 EIH sites in SJ. Sites like these allow us to house homeless residents in units at 1/8 the cost & 1/12 the time of traditional apartments. https://t.co/P72bisrG0Z — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@hw42sj @barcelosknows @DevDavisCA @D2SergioJimenez No, you’re again making inaccurate assumptions. I said “rent-restricted,” not “rent-controlled.” We use rent-restricted housing for formerly homeless residents—it’s the only way they can afford it. The rent is calculated on a 1/3 basis of their income — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@JustinLardinois @GavinNewsom @D2SergioJimenez @mercnews Yes, @mercnews got it wrong. The site is on Bernal Road in D2. We celebrated opening of 1st of 3 prefab HHAP-funded sites for homeless, all blt w/in same period. All 3 depended on same program to fund & expedite—so we celebrated all 3 w/Gov. Video accurately recites facts — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@hw42sj @barcelosknows @DevDavisCA @D2SergioJimenez To the contrary—there are at least a half-dozen rent-restricted affordable projects under development or recently completed in D6 — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@SCCDP @barcelosknows @DevDavisCA @D2SergioJimenez Please stop obfuscating the truth—it’s beneath the Party. On Fri, we celebrated 3 prefab homeless projects that all relied on HHAP funding. Dev supported putting one in D6 @ Evans Lane, & voted for it. Sergio voted against a prefab HHAP project in his dist. It’s public record — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

Thank you, Rev. Ray Montgomery for your leadership & for joining me in advocating for support of Measure G, for stronger police accountability. https://t.co/8XPAsB0YMC — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@JustinLardinois @GavinNewsom @D2SergioJimenez So, yes, you’re wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@JustinLardinois @GavinNewsom @D2SergioJimenez You’ve confused the projects. We weren’t at a Homekey site. That’s not what the Governor was referring to, and if you watch the video, you’ll understand that. And by the way, the very first motel converted ro homeless housing is in her district—pre-Homekey. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@_suzywilliams @barcelosknows @DevDavisCA @D2SergioJimenez And you should be more receptive to facts. You asked how she’d feel about putting this project in her district, and I told you she did exactly that on Evans Lane. Rather than acknowledging your mistake, you responded by taking a shot over “cutting and pasting. “ — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@_suzywilliams @barcelosknows @DevDavisCA @D2SergioJimenez I do my own pasting of my own messages—thanks. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@hw42sj @_suzywilliams @DevDavisCA I don’t recall seeing you knocking on doors with us for Meas E in 2020 or Meas V on 2018–we’ll generate more than a half-billion $ for rent-restricted housing. I also don’t recall seeing you advocating when I pushed to make SJ the largest US city w/ citywide inclusionary policy — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@hw42sj @barcelosknows @DevDavisCA @D2SergioJimenez No, she was given credit by the Governor for the same reason I gave her credit—for saying (unlike several other council members in SJ & Milpitas) that we have a responsibility to build housing for the homeless, and she took on one if these prefab projects in her district. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@JustinLardinois @GavinNewsom @D2SergioJimenez That’s why Gov recognized her. she also championed affordable housing for homeless vets, families, & seniors in 4 other projects in her district — PolitiTweet.org
